Pleasant surprise

Great stay. The property was spotless cleanest I stayed in and I travel a lot as I’m retired. It was well stocked and equipped, nice fire pit, free firewood, deck, and beautiful country. I will definitely stay again when in the area.

Very Cute Cabin

This is a nice quiet comfortable place. We liked the leather furniture, the antique country decor, and the thoughtful handwritten notes. We had everything we needed and the location was ideal for visiting Northeastern Tennessee. We would recommend it highly!

We we here in June of 2025. The host went out or her way to make everything great for our stay. She left us a surprise in the refrigerator for our stay here during the NHRA event. The home was very comfortable and very clean. Not a complaint one. The home was so cozy and cooled very well and furnished with everything you will need with your stay. I would highly recommend this little house. We loved the country setting there at the little house. Thank you so much for the host Debbie for making the check in so easy and pleasant. Debbie was a fantastic host and was there to answer any questions we had.most definitely a 5 star rental for us.

Great place for a family

I visited Elizabethton last week with my brother and nephew for a family event. Everyone in the family agreed that the little house was wonderful. There was plenty of space for my nephew to play, and we took full advantage of the fire pit and laundry facilities. Debbie, the hostess, was also extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this listing.

Weekend trip to Bristol

My family and I stayed at this property the first weekend of October. We were attending an event at Bristol Speedway. The house was perfect for us and had everything we needed. It was close to the speedway and several stores, but still had a country feel. Debbie the host was amazing! She went above and beyond for us and we are very thankful and greatful for her hospitality. We would recommend this property to anyone needing an affordable and comfortable accommodation close to the speedway.

Good Stay

Nice small house with easy check in and good communication with the host. One thing to note is the only bathroom is off the master bedroom with no other entries. That wasn't clear to me from the pictures or description. Everything else was great.

Fishing trip lodging

Our group of three anglers stayed here for a 4-day fishing trip. This quirky-but-nice and clean house met our needs. It was a bit tricky for three unrelated people with only one bathroom only accessible through one of the bedrooms, but we made it work. Plenty of hot water, but very low water pressure in the shower. The property manager was very responsive and excellent in all respects.
